The Supro Black Magick Rev Head is a seriously cool amp. It's got that raw, mid-focused Supro vibe that Lenny Kravitz clearly loves, and the all-tube construction makes it sing. This is a great choice for players seeking a vintage-inspired tone with a little extra something, especially those leaning towards blues, garage rock, or anything needing a bit of grit.

Frequently Asked Questions
The clean channel is darker and grittier than some of the brighter Supro models – expect a vintage, slightly compressed tone rather than sparkling clarity.
No, the reverb and tremolo have limited controls; they're designed for a more 'plug and play' vibe rather than extensive tweaking.
A 12-inch speaker with a slightly gritty character, like a Celestion Vintage 30 or similar, will really complement the amp's tone and bring out its best qualities.
